Description

SpellTower is a word construction puzzle game. The game is shown as a board filled with letters that form a tower. The player has to construct English words of three letters or more to remove them from the board. Words are formed by touching and swiping the letters, or tapping them. Letters can be connected horizontally, vertically and diagonally, and it is also allowed to overlap on a diagonal. Words only work once per game and some letters have restrictions. When there is a red triangle in the upper right corner of a letter it signifies a length requirement for the word it is included in. When a word is formed the letters are removed and often new ones appear depending on the chosen game mode. Some boards contain black squares without letters. They can be removed by making a word next to them. Certain letters have a blue background. When these are included in a word, they clear an entire row horizontally. Longer words of four letters and more are rewarded with a bonus.

Single-player consists of four game modes unlocked gradually. Tower Mode offers 96 tiles that are not replenished with the goal to gather as many points as possible with them. Puzzle Mode adds a row to the tower each time a word is formed and the player has to prevent the tower from reaching the top of the screen. Ex Puzzle Mode is the same as the latter, but with a more difficult concept. The final mode is Rush Mode similar to Puzzle Mode, but rows are added over time instead of when a new word is formed. The game keeps track of the best words and the highscores. The best word can also be tweeted and all words formed in a single game can be reviewed in a word list. The options offer night colors to play at night with an alternate colour scheme. Multiplayer is supported as the Debate Mode through a local Bluetooth connection for up to two players. It is played as the Rush Mode in real-time, not players taking turns. Multiplayer supports mixing devices such as phones and tablets.
